If you were to spend a few hours around the farm these days, you would observe the people here busily working away. It just might surprise you then, to learn that farmers are actually experts at waiting. The reason you may not have realized this is that we always have lots of things to keep us busy while we wait – so perhaps we could call it “actively waiting“.
Yes, we wait…
We wait for seasons to change.
We wait for the weather to cooperate.
We wait for animals to grow.
We wait for those parts to come in so we can repair that piece of equipment.
“What are we waiting for right now?”, you might ask.
Probably the same thing you are…for those strawberries to be ready!!
While these cooler, damp days of late have done wonders for growing great big, juicy strawberries, it takes some warm sunshine to get them to ripen.
(By the way – something else you may have not realized about farmers, is that no matter the situation, we will blame the weather!)
Now the beauty of “actively waiting” for something, is that it really does make the time pass more quickly than simply sitting and waiting. So, if you think you just can’t wait until early next week to get your first taste of Miller’s Bay Farm Strawberries, we’d like to offer to help…
…stop by and we’ll hand you a hoe!
Yes! Come on out and try this “active waiting” for yourself! Before you know it, the berries will be ripe and ready for picking!
Be the first to know when the strawberries
(and other crops) are ready for your table
